How to Calculate Your Digital Marketing ROI
Understanding the formulas ensures you can hold your agency accountable and make smarter budget decisions.
ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)
ROI (Return on Investment)
CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)
LTV (Customer Lifetime Value)
Key Insight: Track LTV, Not Just CPA
A customer who spends BDT 600 on first order but repeats 5x/year is worth BDT 3,000/year. If your CPA is BDT 400, that’s 7.5x ROI — not 1.5x. Always calculate ROI over 12 months, not just the first transaction.
Why Digital Marketing ROI Fails in Bangladesh
Most Bangladesh businesses that “tried digital marketing and it didn’t work” made one or more of these mistakes:
Too small a budget for meaningful data
You need at least BDT 15,000/month in ad spend to get statistically significant data. Spending BDT 3,000 and declaring “Facebook Ads don’t work” is like taking one bite of food and concluding the meal is bad.
No pixel or tracking setup
Without Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics properly configured, you’re flying blind. You can’t optimize what you can’t measure. Most agencies that skip tracking setup will hide behind vanity metrics.
Wrong objective chosen
Running a “Page Likes” campaign when you need orders. Running “Awareness” when you want conversions. Campaign objectives must match business goals — this is a fundamental mistake that wastes 100% of ad spend.
Stopping too early
Facebook Ads need a learning phase (minimum 50 conversions per ad set) to optimize properly. Most businesses stop campaigns after 7 days of poor performance — right before they would have started performing.
No remarketing strategy
80% of buyers need 3-7 touchpoints before purchasing. If you’re only running cold traffic campaigns with no retargeting, you’re leaving most of your potential revenue on the table.
